If nobody liked this show, then why did it get this rating? :) I understand that some users are trying to convince us that it’s good, but it’s going to be really hard to persuade those who have actually watched it. The show centers around a love story with a revenge plot, and considering how often these themes are explored in K-dramas, it definitely lacks originality. Every scene is quite predictable and simple. Up until the 10th episode, almost nothing happened; the pacing was really slow, which made me lose interest while watching.
There were way too many unnecessary characters, and I couldn't see how they contributed to the story at all. For those looking for depth in emotions, you're going to find a pretty shallow love story waiting for you. Does anyone understand why and when Kwon Shi fell in love with Eun Tae?
abandoned and humiliated her in front of others; despite this, she was too foolish to blame herself and couldn’t grasp the situation. Moreover, even though this was one of the key scenes of the series, it failed to evoke any excitement.
I also don’t understand the praises for their friendship. They are just three people manipulating each other. They claim to be the most important people in each other’s lives, yet they hide so much from one another and are not honest with each other. Moreover, they are not good people. No, I can’t justify their behavior by blaming it on their families or traumas. They have no valid reasons for what they do; they hurt each other and others as well. That’s enough for me not to like them.
Oh, I have no words for Eun Tae’s close friend. I hope no one has a friend like that. She was definitely the worst-written character in the series.
They are deceiving themselves because they are not honest about their feelings. Lee Se Joo, in my opinion, was the most caricatured character. Especially during the moments when he was being spoiled, I found his acting to be insincere. Yes, it was a mask he wore, but he still couldn’t make a leap in his performance. Despite everything, he was the only one who genuinely seemed to be interested in Soo Ji.
The family relationships among all the characters didn’t seem to capture anyone’s interest in the story. The love triangle between the parents and the coincidences that occurred were almost comically simplistic.
In the plot section, they jumped into the story suddenly, almost like it wasn't even the first episode of a new show. They introduced the topic in a way that was quite complicated, which was really confusing. Like everyone else, I wanted to give up watching after a few episodes, but let’s admit it, it was pretty hard to do that with Woo Do-Hwan in it. But even his presence wasn't enough to save the show. His character was also pretty shallow and underdeveloped.
Of course, I can’t skip over the directing skills and the poor screenplay. It was a complete lack of skill. The transitions between scenes, the superficial way emotions were portrayed, the dialogues—all of it felt very basic, almost like a cheap movie done carelessly.
I’ve always loved themes of love born from hatred. K-dramas have always been quite generous with this topic! :) But this show didn’t give us any warmth other than the warm feeling that Woo Do-Hwan’s sweet smile brings to our hearts. I haven’t seen our female character in any other drama; she might be a pretty girl on her own, but I couldn’t find anything about her that would make anyone fall in love with her. If I had to describe her, I wouldn’t even know what to say. Is she innocent? Beautiful? Does she have a good personality? No, I couldn’t find anything. She didn’t have any qualities to make a man who has loved someone else since childhood fall in love with her. Moreover, it wasn’t even love at first sight. That’s why even the romantic scenes weren’t impactful because none of us understood why he loved her.
Honestly, there’s no need for a long review of this show. Despite all this, I finished it because I felt uncomfortable leaving something I started unfinished. If your time is valuable and you have a million other things to do—or even if you have nothing else to do—please don’t waste your time watching this show.
